Compact Spare Tire (If so equipped)
The compact spare is desig ned for tern porary emergency use with
radial ply tires. Since this tire has an approximate tread life of
2,000 miles (3 200 km), the original tire should be repaired (or
replaced) and reinstalled at the first opportuni ty. Maintain the
com pact spare tire inflation pressu re a t 60 psi (414 kPa). Do not
exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) w hile the com pact spare is insta ll ed on
the veh icle. Do not install a wheel cover or attem pt to mo unt a
conventional tire on the compact spare wheel, since the wheel is
designed specifically for the compact spare.
Tire Rotation Recommendations
All tires should be rotated at least every 10,000 mi les (16 000 km)
and should be in correct balance to obtai n the uniform tread
wear. Tire inspection a t every oil cha nge is recomm ended. If
irregular tread wear has developed, rotation is s uggested. Con-
sult your dealer to determine the cause of irregular tread wear. Be
sure to adjust the tire pressure after rotating.
Note: When using the five tire-radial ply rotation the spare may
be used on either side for the first rotation. Thereafter, it should
be rotated onto the same side each time. The four tire rotation
should be used if the vehicle is equipped with the compact spare
tire.
